In the mountains of time there will always be nay-sayers. Those who say it cannot be done. Those whose view is limited and faith shrunken by the elements around them. That's why those who maintain faith despite the odds, despite those who say it can't be done, and despite the elements around them seem to be giants. Giants of faith in a way that is unreachable for the average Christian. However, God has not promised to be with some more than others. We are all His children on equal ground. That which is available to one is available to all. So those things promised by God for one is also for all. "I will never leave you nor forsake you." "I am with you always." "If you have the faith of a mustard seed..."

Why is that last one harder to believe than the first two? Or is it? Is it easier for us to imagine God always with us, but harder to accept that He would act for us? I think it is those who have acknowledged and accepted that depth of His Love who are able to find the faith that seems giant-like. For it is when we are aware of His Love that we become confident enough to tell the mountains to move, to put on the armor of God in the face of evil, and to stand. To stand through all temptations and trials and to fall on our knees and acknowledge who holds the true power over us. It is when we have that awareness and acknowledge it that we can stand in faith, even when surrounded by nay-sayers and the craggy rocks of the mountains of life.

It is when we are grounded in Him that we fly, and are able to rise above those things that wish to bring us down. Maybe it is because we are soaring that we seem like giants to those still tied to the ground in the mire of their circumstances. I pray that I, like you, may be one who finds the faith to fly!
